Asking kids about physical disabilties

I really like it when kids actually walk up to me and ask me what happened to your leg or were you born like that, and it feels a lot better than when kids are whispering to their friends. It makes me feel like, “What are they talking about?” and it’s not the best feeling.

Ezra Frech

Amputee

Nine-year-old Ezra was born with a shorter left leg and only one finger on his left hand. When he was only two and a half years old, Ezra underwent extensive surgery to amputate his foot on the shorter leg and use one of his toes to create a second finger on his left hand. Now, Ezra uses a prosthetic leg to not just walk around, but to compete in sports including basketball, football, karate, and track and field.
